That heaviness sets in right behind your eyes so you sleep for an hour only to wake in a hung over state that doesn't go away or have anything to do with alcohol. You take out the rotting food that's been sitting in a pizza box on the counter for too many days and feel a little relief. You cook the flank steaks you bought at the supermarket a couple of nights ago at a 30% discount because they're about to expire so they don't expire and something inside you seems to unclench. You think about your electronic devices - a sports watch, smart phone and two lap top computers - and how their batteries are draining even now and you add a little anxiety back into your tank. Then think about how you really need to develop a system and a consistent practice to ensure that those devices remain charged and ready when you need them. And then it's gasoline in the car. And oil. Water in the dehumidifier. Calories and hydration in your body. Mundane, tedious, futile and the necessary daily stuff of life. It shouldn't be exhausting, but.
In your mind's eye, you've become Charlie Brown.
